1910 FINE GERMANY GERMAN EMPIRE BANK NOTE Nr 9164559 L 1000 MARKS
1910 Germany 1000 Mark Banknote. This is an Imperial German Reichsbanknote dated 21 April 1910 with a face value of 1000 Marks. It measures 4-1/4 by 7-1/4 inches.
Issued in April 1910 in Berlin, prior to the first World War, this 1000 mark Reichsbanknote, the highest denomination circulated, was equivalent to $250. It was affectionately known to the Germans as the "brown rag". Beautifully engraved 1000 Mark Reichsbanknote from Imperial Germany issued in 1910. This item has the printed signatures of various German officials and is over 100 years old.
The banknote was engraved on specially ribbed hemp security paper with short blue silk threads and was called the Wilcox Paper after the American inventor J.M. Wilcox. This patent was initially used in the United States for banknotes printed before 1877. This process was then sold by J.M. Wilcox & Co. of Philadelphia to the Reichsbank and was used in the production of this classic note. This is also the largest denomination note ever issued from the era of the National Currency (1874) to 1922 before the era of hyper-inflation.
The obverse has floral design columns and the reverse has allegoric female figures, one holding a rudder and the other a cornucopia, representing commerce and agriculture embracing the German Coat of Arms.
